Ingredients
- 300 g Tortilla chips
- 400 g Leftover chili con carne or shredded chicken
- 200 g Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 150 g Sour cream
- 150 g Guacamole
- 2 Tomatoes (diced)
- 50 g Jalapeños (sliced, optional)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Spread the tortilla chips evenly across an oven-safe baking tray or dish.
Spoon the leftover chili con carne or shredded chicken evenly over the tortilla chips.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the chips and meat mixture.
Place the tray in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling.

Top the nachos with dollops of sour cream and guacamole, then add the diced tomatoes, jalapeño slices, and chopped cilantro.
